Clemson comeback falls short as Wichita State eliminates Tigers from NIT
(Photo by Joshua A. Kelly)Clemson’s season ended at home in the National Invitation Tournament for the second time in three seasons after a Wichita State effort that sucked the life out of a moderately-filled lower bowl at Littlejohn Coliseum most of Sunday.
The Tigers (20-14) had their chances after falling behind by as much as 13 out of the gates but couldn't close the deal on the comeback in the 63-55 defeat.
The Shockers (21-14) came out of the half hot and extended to its largest lead early by hitting its first five shots. For every Clemson mini-run, Wichita State answered but the armor started to crack with 10 to go.
